(Speaking of PowerPoint, wasn't it the best back in 2003, before they got rid of the (yes, actually a feature, yes actually called this) "AutoContent Wizard"? Man, that tool made adding compelling content so easy and intuitive...)

I've realized after going back to school again that most of my loathing for PowerPoints stems from the fact that it seems no one is taught how to make a good or even legible one.

For a biology class, I had to come down hard on the rest of the students in my group. They simply did not get that you can't put an entire two-page paper on one slide, in neon green cursive font, over a watermarked photo that takes up the entire background.

Sadly I'm not sure the professor would have seen it as a problem, as all her own presentations were entirely in multicolor Comic Sans.

I fucking hate powerpoint. Every month or two my biggest client asks me to 'whip up' a PP for them based on our work together. They massively overpay me for it, and I am not grateful because PP is fucking horrible and I feel shame every time I send them another truncated abortion of a bullshit thought series. The shame is doubled when they express gratitude or even delight because I know it is based on falsehood and lies.

I like moneys, but I think I lose a part of my soul every time I fire up the program. Of course, I also lose a part of my mortgage.
